| usual | seth_k, not exactly sure at the moment as I am not on that box but it was something along the lines of X can't be found or doesn't exist | 12:15 |

| mrd` | Anyone else having problems with linux-image-2.6.12-3-k7? Whenever I boot it, top shows 80+% of my CPU time being used and powernowd steps up my processor to full speed, but no apps actually seem to be using anywhere near that much CPU time. linux-image-2.6.12-2-k7 works fine, however. | 12:48 |
| seth_k | mrd`: I'm using that exact version (k7 even), and I'm having issues with my system clock running about 20x too fast | 12:49 |
| mrd` | Hm. | 12:50 |
| seth_k | I went back to 2.6.10 for now | 12:50 |
| seth_k | the funny thing is my laptop is running 2.6.12 and has no issues | 12:50 |
| seth_k | just the desktop | 12:50 |

| mrd` | There doesn't seem to be a linux-image package. | 12:52 |

| tiglionabbit | hello. I am not part of development, but may I suggest that there be implemented a way to use the gui file browser with admin privileges in a later version? Some ubuntu users want to edit their config files using the gui, as they do not know how to use the terminal properly | 02:30 |
| mrd` | Why does the file browser need to run as root to edit config files? | 02:30 |
| tiglionabbit | something like an entry in applications -> system tools for "Root File Browser" ( gksudo nautilus ) | 02:31 |
| crimsun | they already can using gksudo $app | 02:31 |
| tiglionabbit | crimsun: what if they don't know to type that, and do not want to open a terminal? | 02:31 |
| === Amaranth [~amaranth@AC8BF933.ipt.aol.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| tiglionabbit | perhaps better then, add an entry to the right-click menu in nautilus for "Edit as Root" or something? | 02:31 |
| crimsun | tiglionabbit: they can still use the Run menu entry | 02:32 |
| mrd` | That's probably a better choice than running all of nautilus as root. | 02:32 |
| tiglionabbit | true. Seveas tells me that running nautilus as root will screw up Xauthority and cause a user to not be able to log in | 02:33 |
| tiglionabbit | hm, I suppose run application would work. I could just advise people to type "gksudo gedit" and the absolute path to the config file | 02:34 |
| tiglionabbit | or just have them open it from gedit. Anyway thanks | 02:34 |
| chrissturm | it would be cool if i could just drag some file to some folder, nautilus would see that it cannot copy there, and ask if i want to copy with gksudo | 02:36 |
| seth_k | chrissturm++ | 02:36 |
| === bddebian [~bddebian@pcp08717033pcs.phnixv01.pa.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| tiglionabbit | chrissturm: I think what would be the best possible solution is, if there were a way the standard editors like gedit could call gksudo when they reach a permissions problem, rather than just saying it couldn't be written | 02:37 |
| tiglionabbit | but the root file browser would be good just to be able to create directories and touch files | 02:38 |
| bddebian | Standard editors like nano you mean? ;-P | 02:39 |
| tiglionabbit | gui editors. If they already can use nano, then they already know how to use the terminal, so there's no problem telling them to sudo that | 02:39 |
| tiglionabbit | I'm talking about waaay newbies | 02:39 |
| === bddebian is a waay n00b :-) | ||
| chrissturm | tiglionabbit, can unix processes sudo themselves, or is it just possible to start new processes as root? | 02:40 |
| tiglionabbit | hm, the latter | 02:40 |
| tiglionabbit | wow, I hadn't experimented with gedit. It doesn't even let you mess with the file at all, does it | 02:41 |
| chrissturm | tiglionabbit, so they would need to copy the file to tmp, and then move it with a new process | 02:41 |
| === Am|NickTaken [amaranth@AC8A4A3A.ipt.aol.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| HrdwrBoB | there is a wrapper for it | 02:42 |
| HrdwrBoB | sudoedit I think | 02:42 |
| HrdwrBoB | it starts $EDITOR iirc | 02:42 |
| mrd` | It would be relatively simple to do something like fork a new process, and exec in that process "gksudo tee $file" and then write your data into that process's stdin. | 02:42 |
| tiglionabbit | oo, sudoedit runs nano for me | 02:42 |
| mrd` | (Though, I don't know if it's possible to tell if/when gksudo succeeded.) | 02:43 |
| tiglionabbit | Hmm, perhaps in breezy you could add sudoedit as one of the default context menu items, and set the editor to something gui users would like? | 02:44 |
| tiglionabbit | and also, instead of having the create directory/folder items greyed out, have them call gksudo mkdir and such | 02:45 |
| HrdwrBoB | better off to make gedit ask you for sudo | 02:45 |
| HrdwrBoB | rather than a secondary option | 02:46 |

| daniels | luis_: sure, but even if I upload it a day later that I hope (which may well happen), that's still only been since monday | 05:30 |
| daniels | modularisation helps more, really | 05:30 |
| daniels | xorg uploads are frigging unwieldy at the moment | 05:31 |
| daniels | and I feel guilty about having done 24 since hoary | 05:31 |
| calc | daniels: good job with the updates :) | 05:32 |
| calc | daniels: so is the source itself going to be split out as well? | 05:33 |
| daniels | calc: totally | 05:33 |
| calc | istr something about that with 6.9? | 05:33 |
| daniels | nah | 05:33 |
| daniels | 6.9 and 7.0 will release in parallel with the same code | 05:34 |
| calc | ah ok | 05:34 |
| daniels | but 6.9 will be an imake monolith, 7.0 will be autotooled and modular | 05:34 |
| daniels | i've been nibbling at the tree from the bottom | 05:34 |
| calc | great | 05:34 |
| calc | oh btw -34 didn't seem to fix the /etc/X11/X symlink it was left dead | 05:35 |
| calc | iirc it was pointing to /usr/bin/X11/Xorg | 05:36 |
| calc | i manually pointed it at /usr/bin/X11/bin/Xorg | 05:36 |
| daniels | /usr/bin/X11/bin/Xorg is quite obviously broken | 05:46 |
| daniels | /usr/bin/X11 should be pointing at /usr/bin; if it's not, that's a separate issue | 05:46 |
| infinity | That issue exists because /usr/bin/X11 didn't properly get turned into a symlink, so the ln -s ../bin /usr/bin/X11 landed in the directory, rather than replacing it. | 05:55 |
| infinity | (I really hate thast ln behaviour, BTW... Very inintuitive) | 05:56 |
| infinity | "Of course I wanted a link called "bin" in that directory, thanks!" | 05:56 |
| bddebian | Aye | 05:56 |
| infinity | I guess it's intuitive from the "behaves like cp and mv" perspective, but who uses ln "as if they were copying a file"? | 05:58 |
| === infinity waits for someone to say that they do just that. | ||
| bddebian | I just do that | 05:59 |
| bddebian | Happy now? :-) | 05:59 |
| infinity | Thrilled. | 05:59 |
| infinity | daniels : Still want me to fix x-common, or have you done so already? | 05:59 |
| infinity | daniels : I can do it in the next hour or so. | 06:00 |

| daniels | no idea when, thought | 06:15 |
| bddebian | daniels: Are you trying to tell me something? :-) | 06:15 |
| daniels | between stuff on friday night, stuff on saturday afternoon, stuff on saturday night ... | 06:15 |
| infinity | daniels : Is that my cue to recompile my entire system against a different libc? | 06:17 |
| daniels | infinity: different libc? | 06:21 |

| daniels | oh, right | 06:24 |
| daniels | not really, just entertaining | 06:24 |
| daniels | the power of Planets and all that | 06:24 |
| infinity | Does anything actually install files in /usr/bin/X11? | 06:39 |
| infinity | Oh, yay. xserver-xorg does. (why?) | 06:41 |
| daniels | nothing in breezy does, no | 06:41 |
| daniels | uhm, not any more. Contents needs updating. | 06:42 |
| daniels | i fixed that particular brain damage in -34. | 06:42 |
| infinity | Ah. Xorg moved to /usr/bin, then? | 06:42 |
| daniels | (i just zgrepped Contents as well) | 06:42 |
| daniels | well, it's still in /usr/X11R6/bin, but the symlink moved to /usr/bin | 06:42 |
| infinity | Check. | 06:42 |
| infinity | So, why do we even care about having the directory/symlink at all? | 06:42 |
| daniels | fhs, more or less | 06:43 |
| daniels | x shit is defined to be available in /usr/bin/X11 | 06:43 |

| infinity | Feh. | 07:05 |
| daniels | gar | 07:07 |
| daniels | no keybuk, either | 07:07 |
| daniels | anyone know how to do funky inclusion with automake? | 07:07 |

| infinity | Erm, but ignore debian/bar. | 07:07 |
| === infinity goes to remove that. | ||
| daniels | i need to generate a Makefile with a shell-script at build-time (either ./configure or from within the Makefile), but I can't seem to get an include in | 07:07 |
| infinity | (was a test file) | 07:08 |
| infinity | daniels : If you're positive nothing should ever be living in /usr/bin/X11 on a user's system, then you can just rm -rf it, but the warning should be harmless if 99.9% of people won't ever see it anyway. | 07:09 |
| infinity | (Have we accidentally created any files in /usr/bin/X11 along the way, other than "bin"? | 07:10 |
| infinity | ) | 07:10 |
| daniels | infinity: not that I'm aware of -- rm -rf should be safe | 07:11 |

| daniels | heh | 07:12 |
| mae | what do you all use as a development environment for GTK+ apps | 07:12 |
| infinity | rm -rf is safe from the POV of dpkg (ie: we don't ship any files there), but users may prefer not to lose stuff they dropped there with "make install" at some point. Hence the warning instead. | 07:12 |
| daniels | infinity: looks good to me | 07:13 |
| infinity | If you're pretty sure users won't have shit there anyway, then we can toss it. Then again, if users wouldn't ever have stuff there, why is it in the FHS? :) | 07:13 |
| infinity | (WHich leads me to believe someone might) | 07:13 |
| daniels | mmm, probably safer just warning and/or bombing | 07:14 |
| infinity | Yeah. I like the warning, since bombing the postinst doesn't really help anyone. | 07:15 |
| === daniels giggles. | ||
| infinity | So, I'll just upload this. | 07:15 |
| daniels | a shell script that generates a huge chunk of a Makefile, that gets read into a variable in ./configure, and substituted in-place to the generated Makefile | 07:16 |

| whiprush | hey fabbione | 07:57 |
| fabbione | hi whiprush | 07:57 |
| whiprush | may I trouble with you with a kernel question? | 07:58 |
| fabbione | whiprush: if you feel lucky :) | 07:58 |
| whiprush | heh | 07:58 |
| whiprush | the pptp driver in hoary doesn't work with bsd-based firewalls like monowall. | 07:58 |
| whiprush | a friend of mine bugged me with it but hasn't told me specifics yet | 07:59 |
| fabbione | it's a bsd problem :P | 07:59 |
| whiprush | apparently some distros are pulling the pptp driver right from the guys CVS even though he hasn't made a release. | 08:00 |
| whiprush | how shall I proceed? | 08:00 |
| fabbione | we don't pull from CVS | 08:00 |
| fabbione | i am pretty sure about it... | 08:00 |
| whiprush | ok, so the right answer is "ask the guy to release?" | 08:01 |
| fabbione | whiprush: how to proceed is a good question... does it work with other distros? | 08:01 |
| === ivoks [~ivoks@backup.grad.hr] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| whiprush | it works with fc4 just fine. | 08:01 |
| fabbione | whiprush: no, my point is that we don't pull from CVS.. should we? | 08:01 |
| fabbione | whiprush: if it works with other distros, it might as well be a problem with bsd... | 08:02 |
| whiprush | but, the one thing that caught my attention is the original patch was for 2.6.23 | 08:02 |
| fabbione | too many vars in the middle | 08:02 |
| whiprush | er, 2.6.2 | 08:02 |
| whiprush | which led me to ask "why isn't in mainline yet?" if it's been so long | 08:02 |
| fabbione | if nobody push the patch, it will never go mainline | 08:03 |
| fabbione | + the code needs to be clean | 08:03 |
| fabbione | and probably it's not | 08:03 |
| whiprush | I agree. | 08:03 |
| === slomo [~slomo@p5487C73F.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| whiprush | My bsd-based router is a new release of m0n0wall, which is pretty popular around my group of friends. But this kernel patch seems to be wonky. | 08:04 |
| whiprush | last update I can tell is for 2.6.2 | 08:04 |
| fabbione | mppe http://free.polbox.pl/h/hs001/ mppe-mppc-(.*).patch.gz 1.3 linux- | 08:05 |
| fabbione | 2.6.11-[] | 08:05 |
| fabbione | is this one the patch you are talking about? | 08:05 |
| whiprush | anyway, I'll get more specifics on the patch itself, I've had like 3 of my friends patch their kernels to "make it work" but none of them seem to know any specifics. | 08:05 |

| fabbione | i guess it's time to downgrade ipw2x00 | 10:59 |

| seb128 | sivang: np | 11:00 |
| fabbione | Lathiat: not the ipw2100 | 11:00 |
| Lathiat | fabbione: ah | 11:00 |
| fabbione | Lathiat: and the ipw2200 has problems with the firmware | 11:00 |
| Lathiat | well, i havent had any problems with my 220 | 11:01 |

| === marilize [~marilize@196.36.161.235] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| fabbione | the only sensible solution is to downgrade to something that's know to work | 11:01 |

| Lathiat | torkel: suck | 11:01 |
| fabbione | i could actually do an attempt to fix it | 11:01 |
| fabbione | but i need volunteers to test it | 11:02 |
| fabbione | but there will still be the 2200 firmware problem | 11:02 |
| Lathiat | well, its just later versions of the driver fix the 2200 stuff from dying randomly | 11:02 |
| === chmj raises his hand | ||
| Lathiat | i can test the 2200 | 11:02 |
| torkel | and I can test 2100 | 11:02 |
| fabbione | ok.. is it the -686- flavour good enough for both of you? | 11:03 |
| torkel | sure | 11:03 |
| Lathiat | yeh 686 works for me | 11:03 |
| Lathiat | i can try 386 if you want | 11:03 |

| ogra | (it just got synced) | 11:44 |
| pitti | so it's in universe soon? | 11:44 |

| pitti | yes, I assume that :-) | 11:47 |
| seb128 | ogra: it's not synced, I've packaged it for Ubuntu | 11:47 |

| jdthood | pitti: I have been thinking about set-default-soundcard... | 11:56 |
| pitti | Hi jdthood | 11:57 |
| jdthood | pitti: The utility sets the card _number_. This depends on the order in which the drivers are loaded, unless the module loader configuration contains options that enforce certain index numbers for certain drivers. | 11:57 |
| jdthood | pitti: Have you considered using card _names_? | 11:58 |
| pitti | jdthood: well, they are harder to map and error prone | 11:58 |
| jdthood | pitti: How so? | 11:58 |
| pitti | but if it can be done robustly, that would of course be possible as well | 11:59 |
| pitti | jdthood: how is that specified in asoundrc? | 11:59 |
| jdthood | pitti: Generally you can use names anywhere you can use numbers. | 11:59 |
| jdthood | $ cat /proc/asound/cards | 11:59 |
| jdthood | 0 [CS46xx ] : CS46xx - Sound Fusion CS46xx | 11:59 |

| jdthood | Dummy 1 | 12:01 |
| jdthood | 1 [CS46xx ] : CS46xx - Sound Fusion CS46xx | 12:01 |
| ogra | jdthood, i'm the guy from the hwdb.... i built in a check for the soundcard name... you cant imagine how many kernel modules only report [rev0] as the name, you cant distinguish it with the name (yet) | 12:01 |
| jdthood | If I load another snd driver first, my principal sound card gets a different index (1 instead of 0) but it retains the same name ('CS46xx'). | 12:02 |
| jdthood | ogra: Ah. | 12:02 |
| ogra | jdthood, so a check for both would probably the way to go | 12:02 |
| jdthood | ogra: Yes. Would it be possible to set the soundcard on the basis of the name, if the name is something "valid", and fall back to the number? | 12:03 |
| ogra | why not ? its only code ;) | 12:03 |
| ogra | the question is, does pitti have time to implement sich things.... else i'd go with the numbering scheme for now and think about a more fine grained solution for breezy+1 :) | 12:04 |
| jdthood | ogra: On second thought ... the program is run from System|Preferences|Sound|Default and this _has_ to display a useful name in order for the user to be able to make an informed choice. | 12:04 |
| ogra | s/sich/such | 12:04 |
| pitti | jdthood: it does already | 12:05 |
| pitti | jdthood: but we can assume that the name is valid at that moment | 12:05 |
| jdthood | pitti: Does what already? | 12:05 |
| pitti | jdthood: yes, that's done in gnome-sound-properties | 12:05 |
| jsgotangco | brb | 12:06 |
| jdthood | pitti, orga: So why not change set-default-soundcard to write the name (as displayed to the user) instead of the index number into .asoundrc? | 12:06 |
| jdthood | Sorry if I am missing something? | 12:07 |
| pitti | jdthood: unfortunately I just lost my second audio device three days ago, so I cannot test that right now | 12:07 |
| pitti | jdthood: but I didn't know that you can put names as values of defaults.pcm.card | 12:08 |
| jdthood | pitti: I believe you just put the name instead of the numeral. Probably you have to protect it with quotation marks if it contains spaces. | 12:08 |
| === jdthood tests this | ||
| pitti | jdthood: next week I get a shiny new desktop box again, then I can have two sound cards again | 12:10 |
| pitti | jdthood: right now I only have my laptop, pretty hard to add a second pci soundcard :-) | 12:10 |
| pitti | jdthood: btw, are you at debconf5? | 12:11 |
| jdthood | pitti: Nope | 12:11 |
| jdthood | pitti: Well, just replacing the numeral with the name does _not_ work. :/ | 12:12 |
| pitti | jdthood: well, IIRC I read a bit about that, and I never heard that you can use names | 12:13 |
| jdthood | pitti: I have found that, in general, alsa-lib can work with names just as easily as with index numbers. | 12:13 |
| pitti | jdthood: maybe libasound can be easily *made to* accept names as a value :-) | 12:14 |

| ogra | is it possible dh_stip, install -s and strip -s are broken ? | 12:31 |
| ogra | i cant get this warning go away it seems... with neither of the tools | 12:32 |
| Kamion | you have to explicitly do strip --remove-section=.comment | 12:32 |
| chmj | zyga: what attacks ? | 12:32 |
| Kamion | chmj: news.bbc.co.uk | 12:32 |
| ogra | Kamion, wow, thnks | 12:32 |
| zyga | chmj: bombs in the subway and in several buses | 12:32 |
| chmj | Kamion: thnx | 12:32 |
| ogra | Kamion, lintian -i tells something different ;) | 12:32 |
| Kamion | ogra: dh_strip does this for files it knows to be shared libraries or executables | 12:32 |
| ogra | Kamion, yes, the squeak plugin mechanism is a bit strange | 12:33 |
| Kamion | ogra: RTFS :) | 12:33 |
| ogra | :) | 12:33 |
| Kamion | it's fair enough for lintian not to go into quite all the details I think | 12:33 |
| ogra | if i give -i it should show details .... | 12:33 |
| Kamion | if ($type=~m/.*ELF.*(executable|shared).*/) { | 12:33 |
| ogra | thats why i do this | 12:33 |
| Kamion | ogra: they're implementation details of dh_strip | 12:34 |
| Kamion | anyway if 'file' on /usr/lib/squeak/3.7-7/vm-display-fbdev matched that regex, it would have .comment and .note stripped | 12:34 |
| ogra | N: The binary or shared library is stripped, but still contains a section | 12:34 |
| ogra | N: that is not useful. The utilities (install -s and dh_strip) are | 12:34 |
| ogra | N: patched to remove the .note and .comment sections. | 12:34 |
| Kamion | yes, and they do | 12:34 |
| torkel | zyga: is it confirmed that it was bombs? | 12:34 |
| Kamion | for sensible binaries | 12:34 |
| ogra | so i assume install -s does this.... | 12:34 |
| JanC | torkel : 3 busses don't explode on themselves... | 12:35 |
| ogra | torkel, yes | 12:35 |
| torkel | k | 12:35 |
| zyga | torkel: it seems so | 12:35 |
| zyga | torkel: buses dont blow to bits out of thin air | 12:35 |
| Kamion | execlp ("strip", "strip", "--remove-section=.comment", "--remove-section=.note", path, NULL); | 12:35 |
| zyga | many people died apparently, it's a sad day :-( | 12:35 |
| Kamion | install -s does that unconditionally if built with ELF support | 12:36 |
| Kamion | so perhaps your binary is too broken for strip to be able to handle it? | 12:36 |
| ogra | Kamion, lets see... just compiling again.... | 12:36 |
| pitti | elmo: cdrtools sync, please | 12:39 |
| elmo | pitti: done | 12:40 |
| pitti | thanks | 12:40 |
| ogra | Kamion, --remove-section worked... many many thanks, this is a weird source making me rip my hair out | 12:40 |
| ogra | now on to all these rpath errors | 12:41 |
| Kamion | ogra: hm, I certainly don't understand why install -s would have failed then | 12:41 |
| pitti | ogra: gnome-screensaver ftbfs | 12:41 |
| ogra | Kamion, it did... | 12:41 |

| ogra | Diziet, hi... | 02:59 |
| fabbione | elmo: note the ABI thing i wrote above | 02:59 |
| Diziet | mdz: Yes, please ! | 03:00 |
| mdz | Diziet: thom mentioned he had received mail from you, but hadn't replied yet (at the time I spoke to him) | 03:00 |
| Diziet | That's still true. | 03:00 |
| mdz | Diziet: but in any case the first step is getting network-manager into shape | 03:00 |
| Diziet | At least AFAICT. I haven't checked my logs. | 03:00 |
| Diziet | OK. Is there a list somewhere of what's wrong with it ? | 03:00 |
| elmo | fabbione: abi doesn't matter if I'm just using that image .deb and nothing else, right? | 03:00 |
| Diziet | Or will it be obvious ? :-) | 03:00 |
| elmo | well, assuming reboot-after-install | 03:00 |
| fabbione | elmo: right | 03:00 |
| ogra | Diziet, bugzilla ? | 03:01 |
| Diziet | I haven't looked at it yet; my testbed machine is installing as I write. | 03:01 |
| === Diziet goes to look. | ||
| jbailey | mdz: ping? | 03:01 |
| mdz | Diziet: if you install it, a few things jump out | 03:01 |
| fabbione | elmo: yes.. that will make it easier | 03:01 |
| mdz | Diziet: for instance, it depends on bind9 | 03:01 |
| Diziet | Cripes. | 03:01 |
| mdz | Diziet: and it mangles /etc/resolv.conf in some very interesting ways | 03:01 |
| fabbione | elmo: otherwise you need to unload all the ipw and ieee802* modules and reload them | 03:01 |
| Diziet | I can see the argument for having a local proper cache, actually. | 03:02 |
| mdz | I suggest installing it in a few places (most interestingly a laptop with wireless + wired interfaces) as a start | 03:02 |
| Diziet | OK. I've got one of those with enough disk for an install. | 03:02 |
| mdz | Diziet: sure, but bind9 is a bit heavy and its default configuration is not suitable for that | 03:02 |
| Diziet | Quite so. | 03:02 |
| jbailey | mdz: Was just talking with fabionne about the best way to handle that older udev's don't like 2.6.12, and newer udev's require newer kernels. Trying to figure out if depends'ing on Linux >> 2.6.12 would work and if we can assume that the kernel version provided there will be present on next boot. | 03:02 |
| Diziet | Do we have an opinion about our preferred cache ? | 03:03 |
| mdz | so NM is pretty rough around the edges and needs to be polished up to integrate smoothly with the rest of the system | 03:03 |
| Diziet | I'll have a play with it and see what looks like needing fixing. | 03:03 |
| mdz | Diziet: lwresd seems like the right idea, though I confess to never having actually used it | 03:03 |
| ogra | especially its working very bad with pcmcia here .... | 03:03 |
| jdub | mdz: NM runs BIND with its own configuration; i've been talking to upstream about the nscd switch - sounds like that's the way to go | 03:03 |
| mdz | the key use cases are documented in the spec | 03:03 |
| Diziet | mdz: Right. | 03:03 |
| Diziet | But they're largely obvious. | 03:03 |
| mdz | jbailey: elmo would hate you | 03:03 |
| jbailey | mdz: The catch is arch's that don't provide 'linux' because there's no default kernel, but those could just depend on, say, linux-hppa32 | linux-hppa64 and trust that the user already has at the right kernel installed courtesy of the installer. | 03:04 |
| Diziet | nscd ? Surely that can't be the right answe.r | 03:04 |
| elmo | jbailey: dude, that's horrid - I don't think we can assume our users are running kernels we provide | 03:04 |
| mdz | they may be obvious, but they don't work yet, and it's not clear whether there are still pieces missing after we get NM in | 03:04 |
| === jbailey bats his eyes at elmo and tries to look cute. | ||
| Kamion | jbailey: depending on kernel packages is awful | 03:04 |
| elmo | esp. when kernel-package built packages don't produce packages with the same name | 03:04 |
| mdz | at this point we need to get as quickly as possible to the point where we can add NM to the default install | 03:04 |
| jdub | Diziet: well, colour this knowing that drepper has been the, ah, "hard place" in the decision making process :) | 03:04 |
| mdz | without it doing anything insane | 03:04 |
| mdz | because currently it isn't getting anywhere near the level of testing that it needs | 03:05 |
| jbailey | elmo: We have to in terms of providing a supported configuration anyway. If someone touches their kernel and it breaks, we can't help them anyway. | 03:05 |
| Diziet | mdz: Right. | 03:05 |
| jbailey | elmo: What we would be doing then is basically saying that as of a given release you have to have a minimum kernel version if you want to play at all. Mark it in the release notes, enforced through a package dependancy. | 03:05 |
| Diziet | What's Drepper got to do with it ? I mean, um. Just use normal dns and no nscd. | 03:05 |
| Diziet | nscd is EBW. | 03:05 |
| Kamion | jbailey: making our udev package not be usable unless you're using our kernels is just so bad | 03:06 |
| jbailey | Kamion: It's more fragile than I like, but we don't have any way of depending on kernel features available on next boot. | 03:06 |
| Kamion | jbailey: happy with release notes, but not the dependency | 03:06 |
| jbailey | Kamion: Not based on our kernel version, based on 2.6.12 | 03:06 |
| elmo | jbailey: what's the danger here, partial upgrades of udev? | 03:06 |
| jdub | Diziet: the reason why BIND/lwresd/nscd come up is because NM requires fast, reliable reconfiguration of DNS sources | 03:06 |
| jbailey | udev 0.60 requires kernel 2.6.10. 2.6.12 requires udev 0.56 | 03:06 |
| elmo | why can't udev just check in the preinst? | 03:06 |
| elmo | at runtime? | 03:06 |
| jbailey | udev-0.61 will require kernel 2.6.1 | 03:06 |
| jbailey | 2.6.12 | 03:06 |
| Kamion | jbailey: yes, but as elmo says e.g. kernel-package produces differently-named packages by default, etc. | 03:06 |
| Diziet | jdub: Quite so. | 03:06 |
| jdub | Diziet: and interesting customisations for VPNs and so on, beyond what resolv.conf can do | 03:07 |
| Kamion | jbailey: so what you're in fact saying is "you may not hack your kernel and use udev" | 03:07 |
| Diziet | resolv.conf is not the answer. A sensible cache is the right answer. | 03:07 |
| === luis_ is now known as lu|away | ||
| jdub | Diziet: (this is the major reason why it uses a custom bind configuration, tweaks it, realoads it, etc) | 03:07 |
| Kamion | unless you're extremely familiar with making kernel-package DTRT | 03:07 |
| jdub | Diziet: yeah, thus bind :) | 03:07 |
| Diziet | BIND8 is quite broken in this respect. I imagine BIND9 will be worse, but I've not used BIND9. | 03:07 |
| jbailey | Kamion: Not at all. I'm saying "hack your kernel, but use the upstream version that we support". | 03:07 |
| mdz | Diziet: is that enough of a concrete starting point to keep you busy for the present? | 03:07 |
| jbailey | Ideally, newer ones will work, udev upstream has already broken this once. | 03:07 |
| Diziet | `BIND9 lightweight resolver protocol' ? These people are on crack. | 03:08 |
| === _vedran [~vedran@secondary.energodata.ba] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | jbailey: a preinst check would provide that *much* better than a package dependency | 03:08 |
| jdub | Diziet: worth reading the mailing list for background | 03:08 |
| Diziet | mdz: Yes, I think so. | 03:08 |
| jbailey | Well, upstream kernel rather broke it so that older udev no longer worked. | 03:08 |
| jbailey | Kamion: Preinst check assumes you're running the kernel already. | 03:08 |
| Diziet | I should have finished my own nameserver really. Then we could use that :-). | 03:08 |
| Kamion | jbailey: package dependency assumes you have an Ubuntu-packaged kernel | 03:08 |
| jbailey | Right now, running 2.6.12 on a warty system won't work. The interface changed and udev hangs while walking /sys | 03:08 |
| Kamion | we seem to be talking at cross-purposes here ... | 03:09 |
| Diziet | Right now it just coredumps mainly. | 03:09 |
| jbailey | Kamion: Well, it assumes you have it installed. | 03:09 |
| === fabbione will let people figure this out.. | ||
| === fabbione really needs to rest | ||
| mdz | jbailey: why do newer udevs require newer kernels? is there no way to maintain backward compatibility? | 03:09 |
| jbailey | Kamion: It also offers the ability to quickly check what version we think you ought to have installed with dpkg -l linux | 03:09 |
| jbailey | mdz: sysfs structure changed. | 03:09 |
| Kamion | cjwatson@jackass:~$ dpkg -l linux-image\* | grep ^ii | 03:09 |
| Kamion | cjwatson@jackass:~$ | 03:09 |
| Kamion | for example | 03:09 |
| Diziet | I think the right answer for now is probably to use BIND8 and restart it (not just reload it) when the config changes. | 03:09 |
| mdz | jbailey: also, what's the target date for making initramfs the default configuration? that needs _gobs_ of testing | 03:10 |
| Kamion | jbailey: just for a start, that doesn't work on powerpc | 03:10 |
| mdz | Diziet: preferable would be to disable that whole piece of the mess and use existing DNS infrastructure while we sort it out | 03:10 |
| Kamion | jbailey: and it's hopelessly unreliable - it's very easy to update just linux-image-whatever without updating the metapackages too | 03:10 |
| jbailey | Kamion: Right, that's why the 'linux' package would depend linux-power3 | linux-power4 | linux-powerpc64-smp | 03:11 |
| mdz | the more piecewise we can bring NM in, the less painful it will be | 03:11 |
| Kamion | jbailey: people won't keep it up to date reliably | 03:11 |
| Diziet | mdz: That would make sense too. | 03:11 |
| Diziet | Just messing with resolv.conf is probably sanest. | 03:11 |
| jbailey | Kamion: Yeah. More fragile than I like, but a run-time test doesn't work here. | 03:11 |
| Kamion | jbailey: seriously, the dependency doesn't work either | 03:11 |
| bob2 | note that things like firefox more or less ignore changes to resolv.conf | 03:11 |
| Kamion | jbailey: I'd rather have a preinst *warning*, and then have udev bomb out at run-time if it's still wrong | 03:12 |
| jbailey | Kamion: 'warning: If you're not running 2.6.12 by the time you restart udev, it won't be able to run' type of thing? | 03:14 |
| Kamion | jbailey: right, if it's not possible to make udev tolerate the old structure | 03:14 |
| Kamion | jbailey: perhaps the udev init script could check the running kernel version before (re)starting udev | 03:15 |
| Kamion | jbailey: so that you don't break your system if you do '/etc/init.d/udev restart' | 03:15 |
| Kamion | Diziet: Have you looked at the Ubuntu new-maintainer process yet? We should look at getting you through it soon. | 03:17 |
| jbailey | Kamion: That's doable. I'm just wishing for some way of doing a more certain dependancy on the kernel version that will be installed next. Apparently the next version of hal will want the next version of udev which will require 2.6.12. Having the user have an old kernel will break alot of things. =( | 03:17 |
| Diziet | kam: No. | 03:18 |
| Diziet | I just did what it said in NewStaffTasks under Ubuntu. | 03:18 |
| Diziet | So my key is in the keyring but I haven't done an upload or anything. | 03:18 |
| ogra | Diziet, you are DD ? | 03:19 |
| mdz | yes | 03:19 |
| uniq | are there known issues with udev/kernel in breezy (ppc)? after updating from hoary to breezy loading the correct sound modules doesn't create the correct /dev entries. | 03:19 |
| jbailey | mdz: Lemme give you an accurate answer to the initramfs default in a few hours. | 03:20 |
| Kamion | Diziet: oh, your key's there already? No problem then. | 03:20 |
| Diziet | Oh, good :-). Well, it was on the list so I did it (got James to do it). | 03:21 |
| Diziet | bob2: Yes, which is why a local cache would be better. But. | 03:21 |
| Diziet | I suppose you could do some kind of nightmare iptables forwarding hack. | 03:22 |
| Diziet | But I have an aversion to nightmare hacks :-). | 03:22 |

| pitti | zyga: it does make some sense | 05:07 |

| pitti | zyga: try gnome-volume-manager if you want to see something small | 05:11 |
| zyga | ok | 05:11 |
| pitti | zyga: or sysfsutils, even smaller and much less build deps | 05:11 |
| Keybuk | what difference does top-level or build-tree make? | 05:12 |
| Keybuk | out of interest | 05:12 |
| pitti | Keybuk: debian/rules clean just rm -rf build-tree and is done | 05:12 |
| Keybuk | sure, but that's just out-of-directory builds | 05:12 |
| pitti | Keybuk: with top-level, you have to reverse-apply all patches, autofoo stuff, and so on | 05:13 |
| Keybuk | ah, but you don't have to reverse-apply patches with W&P | 05:13 |
| zyga | BTW, I've recently started using one tool that made reading obscure code a bliss | 05:13 |
| zyga | :> | 05:13 |
| pitti | Keybuk: sure, W&P is the solution we all waited for | 05:13 |
| zyga | I've put indent into my lessopen certain files | 05:13 |
| pitti | Keybuk: it's just that cdbs tarball.mk, dbs, etc. existed much earlier, so the folks got accustomed to these | 05:13 |
| Keybuk | yup | 05:13 |
| zyga | all the code I've got from work is readable now :) | 05:14 |
| Keybuk | hopefully I'll get some time at debconf | 05:14 |
| tseng | zyga: eh? | 05:14 |
| pitti | Keybuk: I basically want to be able to play with the source without spending much effort into not destroying source pkgs | 05:14 |
| zyga | tseng: I've made .indent.pro-file | 05:14 |
| zyga | tseng: and then I run indent -st "$1" in lessopen | 05:15 |
| zyga | tseng: this way I can read the code the way I like | 05:15 |
| jbailey | Keybuk: When you're asking what's the difference, do you mean why not untar it in place/ | 05:15 |
| jbailey | Keybuk: with cdbs, I did it because the clean target then gets reduced to rm -rf build-tree. | 05:15 |
| zyga | why can't the clean target ... clean | 05:16 |
| zyga | not remove everything? | 05:16 |
| zyga | does build-tree contain any source? | 05:16 |
| jbailey | zyga: Upstream makefiles often suck and clean poorly. | 05:16 |
| jbailey | There's alot of Debian packages that you can't do "debuild; debclean; debuild" to because they leave crap lying around. | 05:16 |
| zyga | hmm | 05:16 |
| jbailey | zyga: In a tarball build, yes. | 05:17 |
| jbailey | Usually something libc build-tree/glibc-2.3.5 | 05:17 |
| zyga | jbailey: I'm startting to get this | 05:17 |
| jbailey | Then we have build-tree/libc-i386 build-tree/libc-i686 | 05:17 |
| jbailey | And when you want to clean the whole thing, rm -rf build-tree takes care of it all. | 05:17 |
| jbailey | You just need to make sure all your patches re in debian/patches correctly. | 05:18 |
| pitti | zyga: also, I often play around with the source, insert some printfs here and there, apply some experimental patches which partly fail, etc. | 05:18 |
| pitti | zyga: I can compile and re-compile in the build-tree, and am always able to get to a clean and consistent state | 05:18 |
| zyga | hmm then the build tree *does* contain source | 05:19 |
| zyga | okay I've built g-v-m | 05:19 |

| pitti | huh? | 05:43 |

| pitti | interesting | 05:43 |

| mdz | Kamion: fantastic, thanks | 06:28 |
| mdz | yeah, only memtest86+.bin is needed | 06:29 |
| Kamion | called it 'memtest' | 06:29 |
| mdz | Kamion: what would be involved in adding a media-check option? | 06:31 |
| mdz | I guess it would need to ask the language question still | 06:31 |
| mdz | unless we can manage to move that out to the boot loader after all...infinity? | 06:31 |
| Kamion | not necessarily | 06:31 |
| Kamion | if it were just an English media check, it could just boot with that main-menu option preselected | 06:32 |
| mdz | well, it would be nice to be able to display the success/failure message localized | 06:32 |
| mdz | though it is in color, I suppose, and so reasonably clear | 06:32 |

| hunger | shwiiing: I bet they can take some help. Ubuntu has surprisingly few people. | 06:59 |
| Kamion | note that the Ubuntu live CD is rather different from other live CD systems; it's almost entirely built out of the regular system | 07:01 |
| Kamion | the piece that makes it into a live CD is casper ('apt-get source casper') | 07:01 |
| Kamion | which mdz maintains | 07:01 |
| shwiiing | i made one just like a normal distro, just wrote my own linuxrc and loaded the knoppix-autoconf script, and i was up and running | 07:03 |
| shwiiing | used unionfs and squashfs | 07:04 |
| shwiiing | writeing the linuxrc file was realy tricky | 07:04 |
| Kamion | we're very keen on sticking with the current broad outline since it provides many maintainability benefits, but improvements to the detail are of course very welcome | 07:04 |
| Kamion | we tried the Morphix approach for Warty and had many problems | 07:05 |
| shwiiing | i know | 07:05 |
| Zomb | btw, the Ubuntu hw detection is crashing the kernel on my system while Sarge and Knoppix run fine | 07:05 |
| Zomb | who does care? | 07:05 |
| Kamion | Zomb: I'd care if given details ... | 07:05 |
| Kamion | although I'm not a kernel hacker, fabbione would be better | 07:06 |
| Kamion | Zomb: the Ubuntu hardware detection is basically just hotplug | 07:06 |
| Zomb | then I would ask fabbione | 07:06 |
| Kamion | if that's crashing your kernel then it would be better described as your kernel crashing your kernel :-) | 07:06 |
| Zomb | I think I have Cc'ed him already in some discussion about that | 07:06 |
| Zomb | hehe | 07:06 |
| shwiiing | Kamion, is there a website where i can get up to date with what you are working on? | 07:06 |
| Kamion | udu.wiki.ubuntu.com is the development website from our last conference, with goals and plans | 07:07 |

| Treenaks | Kamion: any idea when the next conference will be? | 07:08 |
| Kamion | Treenaks: I believe current plans are for October, shortly after the Breezy release; the business of having a conference very early in the release cycle worked out well this time | 07:09 |

| infinity | Lathiat : The file moved from xorg-common to x-common, you mean? | 07:39 |
| Lathiat | infinity: i think so,a dn that x-common is being installed first | 07:39 |
| Lathiat | the X dependencies are in quite a mess actually | 07:39 |
| Lathiat | im having to randomly apt-get -f install, upgrade, dist-upgrade and manually install things to get this all to install | 07:39 |
| Lathiat | without wanting to do something like remove libxll-6 | 07:40 |
| seb128 | zanaga: you said "usually the files just fail to play, even if the file | 07:40 |
| seb128 | is supported in standalone totem.", I thought that was a redirection to the file or something | 07:40 |
| zanaga | seb128: ah, no.. it's just a html wrapper to force the media to play in firefox.. the real media is named test.ogg | 07:41 |
| infinity | Lathiat : Erm, x-common doesn't contain any files in /etc... | 07:41 |
| Lathiat | also installing say, ttf-punjabi-fonts (and lots fo other similar packages) i get lots of cannot exec /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir from defoma stuff | 07:41 |
| Lathiat | infinity: well uh, tahts the error i got | 07:41 |
| Lathiat | infinity: if you want to try, install hoary, then try dist-upgrade to breezy | 07:42 |

| jdthood | ogra: ooo, so it is. | 08:57 |
| ogra | :) | 08:57 |
| ogra | but beware it still has issues | 08:57 |
| ogra | (like running a local bind9 server for caching) | 08:58 |
| jdthood | ogra: If you can read this then it's working. | 09:06 |
| ogra | heh | 09:07 |
| ogra | sure it works... but who wants to run a nameserver on a desktop :) | 09:07 |
| tseng | i do, if it means not opening consoles and playing with iwconfig all day | 09:07 |
| jdthood | ogra: There are good reasons for running a caching nameserver, at least. | 09:08 |
| ogra | jdthood, bind9 ?? | 09:08 |
| jdthood | ogra: I have used dnsmasq for a long time. it is excellent. | 09:08 |
| ogra | yes, thats a well sized solution for a desktop/laptop .... | 09:09 |
| jdthood | ogra: bind9 might be appropriate for some applications. The point is that n-m should be able to integrate with either bind9 or dnsmasq. or pdnsd. | 09:09 |
| ogra | yes | 09:09 |
| jdthood | ogra: Even before n-m, we had correct handling of bind9, dnsmasq and pdnsd through resolvconf. | 09:10 |
| ogra | yup | 09:11 |
| ogra | thats what i meant with "it still has issues" | 09:11 |
| jdthood | So I am not sure that it will be necessary for n-m to continue to drag in bind9. | 09:11 |

| mxpxpod | what do I do if I get an warning when resolvconf loads that resolv.conf isn't a symlink? | 09:11 |
| jdthood | ogra: Maybe n-m and bind9 are doing things together that are more intimate than we're aware of. | 09:11 |
| Keybuk | ogra: no, breezy vim, into baz | 09:12 |
| ogra | jdthood, they do, but its possible t oimprove it :) | 09:12 |

| jdthood | mxpxpod: resolvconf Conflicts with every package in Debian that writes to /etc/resolv.conf. resolvconf doesn't Conflict with network-manager (yet) because the latter isn't in Debian. | 09:13 |
| ogra | Keybuk, ah.. | 09:13 |
| === Keybuk moves onto the next failure in the list ... unsermake! | ||
| jdthood | mxpxpod: However, I have heard rumors that n-m is being modified to cooperate with resolvconf. | 09:14 |

| Burgundavia | both jdub and I like the look for thunar | 11:43 |
| Burgundavia | which can now be done with nautlius | 11:43 |
| tseng | the spatial tree view? | 11:44 |
| Burgundavia | this one: http://thunar.xfce.org/wiki/media/ui/suggestion-20050320/shortcuts_buttons.png | 11:44 |
| tseng | oh yes | 11:44 |
| tseng | bookmark sidebar | 11:44 |
| Burgundavia | and the top row of buttons, ala gtk file chooser | 11:45 |
| wasabi_ | I wouldn't mind that. | 11:45 |

| wasabi_ | Should just make Nautilus itself the FileOpenDialog like MS did | 11:46 |
| tseng | Burgundavia: sure | 11:46 |
| Burgundavia | wasabi, that was my next crazy thought | 11:47 |
| tseng | wasabi_: ... | 11:47 |
| wasabi_ | WHy ...? | 11:47 |
| wasabi_ | Code resuse. | 11:47 |
| wasabi_ | reuse | 11:47 |
| tseng | thats bogus | 11:47 |
| wasabi_ | It makes absolute sense to reuse nearly all of hte visual elements. | 11:47 |
| wasabi_ | MS hit that point too. | 11:47 |
| Burgundavia | consistent interface? | 11:47 |
| wasabi_ | Everybody always whines about that. | 11:47 |
| wasabi_ | But the fact is, it only makes sense technically. | 11:47 |
| Burgundavia | it does make sense from a design pov as well | 11:48 |
| Burgundavia | and a usability one | 11:48 |
| wasabi_ | Yup. | 11:48 |
| wasabi_ | The file browsing interface becomes a generic library with a view component and hooks to plug in special features | 11:48 |
| === lupus1010 [~lupus@dD5772F3C.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| wasabi_ | nautilus becomes a consumer, as does the FileOpen dialog | 11:48 |
| wasabi_ | In MS's case they wanted to put HTML in both, and so IE came in too. | 11:49 |
| Burgundavia | oh joy | 11:49 |
| wasabi_ | =) | 11:49 |
| Burgundavia | can we leave out that part? | 11:49 |
| wasabi_ | You haven't seen the Office WebDAV interface. | 11:49 |
| wasabi_ | It's pretty slick. | 11:49 |
| tseng | wasabi_: except that the gtk team and the nautilus team would be working on the same code | 11:49 |
| tseng | wasabi_: with different release cycles | 11:49 |
| Burgundavia | the outlook web stuff in IE is pretty slick too | 11:49 |
| wasabi_ | tseng, the curse of not working in the same building on the same project. | 11:49 |
| tseng | it doesnt make that much sense in real life | 11:49 |
| tseng | as it does in theory | 11:50 |
| Burgundavia | the gtk people are trying to sync their releases to gnome, from what I understand | 11:50 |
| jp | jbailey, Evolution bugs have been migrated to bugzilla.gnome.org. So I'll search there.. | 11:51 |
| wasabi_ | http://akita.larvalstage.net/~wasabi/webdav.png | 11:51 |
| wasabi_ | WebDAV interface. | 11:52 |
| Burgundavia | ugh | 11:52 |
| wasabi_ | Heh. | 11:52 |
| jbailey | jp: Oh? Cool. I didn't think they'd get aroudn to that. | 11:52 |
| wasabi_ | The webdav server serves the interface as HTML. | 11:52 |
| Burgundavia | sorry, that is butt ugly and completely different from any other interface | 11:52 |
| wasabi_ | Oh yeah, I agree. | 11:52 |
| Burgundavia | but the idea may be workable | 11:52 |
| jp | jbailey yep :/ | 11:52 |
| wasabi_ | I think the specific implemenation may suck. | 11:52 |
| Burgundavia | as usual with MS, they have great ideas, but their implementations suck | 11:52 |
| wasabi_ | Basically though, if the webdav serves HTML in the right way, office can save to it. | 11:53 |
| wasabi_ | And it has a special server-delivered interface | 11:53 |
| wasabi_ | We use it for document management stuff. | 11:53 |
| Burgundavia | I once read a thing about board game designing (but it applies here). I was about good ideas and how cheap they are | 11:53 |
| jp | jbailey, :) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307956 | 11:54 |
| wasabi_ | Notice the special additions. | 11:54 |
| wasabi_ | "Checked Out Too" | 11:54 |
| jp | there's the bug :P | 11:54 |
| Burgundavia | that can be done within an existing interface | 11:54 |
| Burgundavia | without needing to completely redesign the open dialog window | 11:54 |
| wasabi_ | Yeah, it can be done with gtk and nautilus using the same interface. | 11:54 |
| wasabi_ | Supporting the same plugins. | 11:54 |

| wasabi_ | one sec reading | 11:59 |
| wasabi_ | First complaint you list is one that is not considered a bad thing by a lot of people. | 12:00 |
| wasabi_ | Myself included. | 12:00 |
| Burgundavia | one giant menu? | 12:00 |
| wasabi_ | second thing. | 12:00 |
| wasabi_ | =) | 12:00 |
| wasabi_ | I go to www.superprogram.com, download SUper Program 3.0 and install it. It appears in my menu as Super Program 3.0, not "Generic Program That Does Something". I know what to look for before I get there. | 12:00 |
| wasabi_ | And everytime I go there, I know it by name. | 12:01 |
| Burgundavia | that works if you know what you are looking for | 12:01 |
| Burgundavia | and is very application centric | 12:01 |
| wasabi_ | When I pay for it, it shows up on my bill as SuperCompany.com | 12:01 |
| Burgundavia | it falls apart when you have no idea what you are looking for, but know what you want to do | 12:01 |
| wasabi_ | Exactly. Both things are valid. | 12:01 |
| Burgundavia | which I would say is more important | 12:01 |
| wasabi_ | MS and Apple solved it fairely reasonably. | 12:02 |
| wasabi_ | MS called their text editor notepad. Which is fairly obvious as to function. | 12:02 |
| Burgundavia | yes | 12:02 |
| wasabi_ | Mail is pretty clear too. | 12:02 |
| Burgundavia | outlook? evolution? | 12:02 |
| Burgundavia | evince? | 12:02 |
| Burgundavia | these are not clear application names | 12:02 |
| wasabi_ | You're right, the problem with them is one of our community. | 12:02 |
| wasabi_ | We have 4 PDF viewers. | 12:03 |
| Burgundavia | we know have one | 12:03 |
| wasabi_ | And a billion mail readers. | 12:03 |
| Burgundavia | evince | 12:03 |
| wasabi_ | Okay, good. | 12:03 |
| Burgundavia | windows has just as many mail readers | 12:03 |
| wasabi_ | Yeah, and they're known by name. | 12:03 |
| wasabi_ | I like Apple's idea. THe bundled stuff becomes generic. | 12:03 |
| wasabi_ | And it becomes pruned down. | 12:03 |
| wasabi_ | But third party stuff stays as it is. | 12:03 |
| Burgundavia | that is what gnome is also trying to do | 12:03 |
| Burgundavia | the only place the word evince appears anywhere in the interface is in the about box | 12:04 |
| Burgundavia | oh wait, it appears in the menu item as well | 12:04 |
| wasabi_ | Rhythmbox was a specific complaint I had, but that's been addressed. | 12:04 |
